Download or read book Unity of the Heart written by Peter N. Borys, Jr. and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Unity of the Heart" Peter Borys, Jr. presents a multidimensional mystical anthropology and transformation that forms a spirituality of the heart. A heart-centered consciousness opens the way to living a new vision of mystical transformation and spiritual creativity. Borys develops this new vision where we live from a transcendent consciousness in our everyday life of relationships, intention, creativity, and work in the world. The book supports our pathway to experience the meditative awareness, relational self-giving, and intention of the heart-based consciousness. Within the heart, we can seamlessly express our nonlocal and nondual mystic self as a community of being within the universe. The awakening of a consciousness of the heart unites the sciences and the mystic way to form a spiritual-scientific view of our multidimensional humanity and spiritual cosmology. Within the new vision, personal transformation to the true self in Divine unity becomes part of the evolution to an enlightened humanity.
Download or read book The Story of Yoga written by Alistair Shearer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did an ancient Indian spiritual discipline turn into a $20+ billion-a-year mainstay of the global wellness industry? What happened along yoga's winding path from the caves and forests of the sages to the gyms, hospitals and village halls of the modern West? This comprehensive history sets yoga in its global cultural context for the first time. It leads us on a fascinating journey across the world, from arcane religious rituals and medieval body-magic, through muscular Christianity and the British Raj, to the Indian nationalist movement and the arrival of yoga in the twentieth-century West. We discover how the practice reached its present-day ubiquity and how it became embedded in powerful social currents shaping the world's future, such as feminism, digital media, celebrity culture, the stress pandemic and the quest for an authentic identity in the face of unprecedented change. Shearer's revealing history boasts a colorful cast of characters past and present, who tell an engaging tale of scholars and scandal, science and spirit, wisdom and waywardness. This is the untold story of yoga, warts and all.

Download or read book Maranatha A Nora Kelly Novel written by Larry M. Rosen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born again Christian Nora Kelly is warned to stop matching real world events to Tribulation prophecies. After Nora turns to 3-M and Haley, she's attacked, a colleague is murdered, then she's kidnapped and brainwashed by Triantologists, who coerce her to renounce Christ. After Nora is rescued from an armed bastion, psychiatrist Marilyn Swiss helps her recover, and Nora learns she's caught up in a conflict conflating an ancient Greek cult-the KOTT, with Moses, the Mormons, Doc Holliday, Frank Sinatra, Don Rickles, and Marilyn Monroe. Nora then uncloaks a plot to discredit Christianity and Judaism, using a false claim that Revelation's prophecy of 144,000 Jews coming to Christ is untrue. Pursuing leads in Chicago and Atlanta, Nora's team encounter assassins Flotilla and Duet, then deduce the deft hand of an old enemy-The Tracer. When Nora finally confronts a malevolence she deems Satanic, she must test her faith by deciding whether to turn the other cheek, or exact a violent retribution.
Download or read book Taboo or to Do written by Ross Clifford and published by Augsburg Books. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, some Christians--as part of their own personal growth--and some churches--as part of their desire to reach the 'spiritual but not religious'--are adapting spiritual practices that have their roots in East Asian religions or in disciplines that emerge from New Age and New Spirituality. Other voices within the Church are wary of, and in some cases condemn, involvement with such practices. This book sifts through some of the most popular practices and asks whether or not they should really be considered off-limits for Christians or incompatible with the way of Jesus. Each chapter provides a brief history of the alternative practice in focus, followed by an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses within a Christian framework, and a case study of a church interacting with the practice. Taboo or To Do? includes a Foreword by John Drane.
